Automatics are not rare at all, but a single side draft 69 automatic 
in the US?  Now that's RARE!  What do you know of its history.  I 
don't think it could have been originally purchased in the US since 
all US T3s were FI from 68 on.

Or did someone convert this car to single carb later on?

I hope someone who can appreciate this car will get together with 
you.
